Indian Rock Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon |
2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Calaveras County
Of all the Foothill counties, Calaveras is considered by many to be particularly well suited to Bordeaux varieties. Our 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon is further proof. The very warm days and mild nights, along with the rocky, well-drained soils along Pennsylvania Gulch Road suit this most venerable of French varieties just fine. Concentrated and focused, with sweet, ripe tannins, this wine delivers complex, rich fruit, with none of the veggie character often found in the coastal valley cabs. It is round and velvety, and ready to enjoy today with hearty dishes like barbecued ribs, a juicy rib-eye or steak fajitas. |
